Q.- We are a large employer and we use the look-back method for determining full-time status. We are hiring someone as a full-time employee. Will they be considered full-time or not full-time for 2018 because they don’t have hours to look back on for our prior measurement period?
A.- If the person is being hired into a full-time job position, the person should be considered a full-time employee for 2018 and offered health coverage.
